JARVIS M. FLINT, OF THAYER, KANSAS.

DEVICE FOR CONVERTING MOTION.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,568, dated March 9, 1886.

Application filed August 26, 1885. Serial X0. 175,378. (No modcLl To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JARVIS M. FLINT, of Thayer, in the county of Neosho and State of Kansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Converting Motion, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in devices for converting motion, and which are particularly applicable to the windmill for which United States Letters Patent N 0. 317,756 were issued to me on the 12th day of May, 1885.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved device for converting the rotary motion derived from the windmill into a reciprocating motion for operating the pump.

The invention consists in the combination, with a ring and turntable, of a pivoted lever operated by the turn-table and connected with the pump-rod, as will be hereinafter more specifically set forth and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side view of my improved turn-table. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a detail cross-sectional view of the same on the line 00 00, Fig. 2.

The flat ring or circular plate A is provided with downwardly-projeeting lugs A, for fastening it on the upper ends of the standards of the supporting tower or frame, and said ring is provided with a downwardly-project ing flange, B, andlugs B, in which wheels or rollers U are journaled, which project from the upper surface of the ring, and on the said rollers a turn-table, D, rests, which is provided at its bottom edge with an annular shoulder, E, on which the rollers or wheels 0 run.

On the inner side of the turn-table downwardly-projecting curved arms F are secured, and in the lower ends of the same short shafts G are held, on which small rollers H are mounted, which run on the under side of the ring A, at the inner edge, and are provided to prevent the wind lifting the turn-table off the ring A.

The top edge of the turn-table D is formed as a wavy or corrugated line, and a flange, J,.

projects outward from the top wavy edge of said turn-table.

A lever, K, is pivoted on a standard, L, on the ring A, which lever has a forked end. K, and in the ends of the prongs of said fork rollers M arejournaled, which run on the top and bottom faces of the flange J. Theother end of the lever K is provided with a series of apertures, N, for receiving abolt, O, for coupling the pump-rod P to the said lever K.

The turn-table D has logs or arms Q, to which the frame of the wind-wheel is secured.

The turn-table D is revolved by the wind- Wheel, and the wavy flange J, acting on the forked end of the lever K, works the same up and down, and thereby works the pump-rod.

The friction is reduced to a minimum, as the turn-table runs on rollers.

The stroke of the pump-rod can be changed by pivoting said rod at different apertures N of the lever K.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination, with a turn-table having a wavy or corrugated upperedge, of a pivoted lever acted upon by said edge, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination, with a turn-table having a wavy or corrugated and flanged upper edge, of a pivot-ed forked lever connected with I a. working rod, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. The combination, with a turn-table having a wavy or corrugated flanged top edge, of a pivoted forked lever having rollers in the ends of the prongs, the rollers resting against the top and bottom of the wavy flange, and of a rod connected wi h the said lever, substan- 9O t-ially as herein shown and described.

4. The combination, with a circular plate provided with rollers, of a turn-table having a shoulder on which the rollers run, and a flanged wavy top edge, and of alever operated 95 by the flange, substantially as herein shown and described.

5. The combination, with the ring A and rollers B, of the turn-table D, the arms l the rollers H, and the lever K, substantially as 100 hereinshown and described.
